AmeriCorps NCCC team, Maple 4, have finished revitalizing the Vinton community pool! The pool is now full of water that must be cleaned before anyone can swim. This means that the pool is on track to be opened Memorial weekend.

The team this week painted the pool, the slide, the pool clubhouse, and many fixtures around the pool. They set up the equipment surrounding the pool including tables, basketball hoops, and shade flags. To finish up the Dinosaurs, power washed the entire inside of the clubhouse.

The team looks forward to going down the slide when the pool is ready. Dinosaur member Phil Schaefer from St. Louis says, “It's been a lot of fun working with the VPRD on the pool. I can't wait to see what we do next.”
